Abstract
In this work, two types of thermo-mechanical volume change tests were carried out on unsaturated GMZ bentonite specimens. Results of temperature-suction controlled compression tests indicated that the virgin compression lines of unsaturated bentonite eventually converged toward that of saturated bentonite. With the concept of critical saturated state (CSS) curve, bilinear normal consolidation lines with consideration of temperature were proposed. Results of thermal loading tests indicated that the effects of over-consolidation ratio on the thermal volume change behavior of unsaturated and saturated bentonite were similar, while, the suction effect on the thermal volume change behavior of unsaturated bentonite was different in unsaturated and critical saturated state. Based on the test results, a new concept of CSS surface was proposed in the stress space (s-p-T space) for compacted bentonite. In the new framework, the thermo-mechanical volume change behavior of unsaturated bentonite could be well described. The results obtained in this work could provide a new conception for developing the thermo-mechanical constitutive model for unsaturated bentonite.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
